The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has designated four new transportation technologies, including road obstacle radar detection technology.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Minister Kang Ho-in) announced that it has designated four new transportation technologies (No. 31 to 34), including a road obstacle detection system using radar sensors that can reduce the impact of traffic accidents.

The 32nd new traffic technology (real-time emergency situation detection system based on radar sensors) is a technology that uses information collected through radar sensors installed on the road to recognize, analyze, and judge obstacles on the road (stopped vehicles, vehicles driving in the wrong direction, fallen objects, etc.) and provide the information to drivers and road managers.

With the currently operating CCTV , equipment performance deteriorates at night and in bad weather, and visibility is poor, making it difficult to detect a burglary in real time. Accordingly, the emergency situation detection system, which can be operated in various road environments, ensures performance day and night and in bad weather, detects emergency situations on a 5-lane road up to 1 km away, and directly detects individual vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians, etc. to provide accurate location and speed (within approximately 5 seconds) .


An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, "It is expected that the efficiency of road management and operation will increase by automatically detecting unexpected situations on the road in real time and all weather and providing information about this to drivers and road managers in real time, thereby preventing primary and secondary accidents and alleviating road congestion."

In addition, the No. 31 new traffic technology (center divider and guardrail end treatment facility equipped with break-away supports) is a technology that installs shock-separating (break-away) supports at the ends of center dividers and guardrails, so that when a vehicle collides with it, the bolts connecting the upper and lower supports are detached and the rails of the center divider and guardrail overlap in sequence, thereby gradually dispersing and absorbing the impact.

No. 33 New Traffic Technology (Asphalt Concrete Lane Painting and Road Marking Technology by Applying Room Temperature Curing Paint with a Weight Ratio (%) of Acrylic Main and Sub-materials at 50:50 Using a Two-Component, Two-Process Lane Painting Equipment) is a technology for applying a room temperature curing paint for lane painting with a weight ratio (%) of acrylic main and sub-materials at 50:50 using a two-component, two-process lane painting equipment (main and sub-materials)This is a technology for applying asphalt concrete lane painting and road marking at room temperature using a two-nozzle sprayer and a V-shaped nozzle.

No. 34 Transportation New Technology (Full-Section Ultra-Rapid-Curing Concrete Manhole Lifting Repair Method Equipped with Multi-Shaped Pavement Cutting Equipment and Height-Adjustable Device) is a manhole lifting repair method that applies a pavement cutting technology using equipment capable of cutting circular and straight lines, a technology using a six-point height-adjustable device, and full-section ultra-rapid-curing concrete with a pipe cooling device installed.

Meanwhile, with this designation of new transportation technologies, developers will be given benefits such as obtaining a New Technology Certification Mark (NET), receiving extra points when participating in bidding, and receiving protection of new technologies for a certain period (typically 5 to 7 years), and an official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport predicted that the development of various new transportation technologies will be activated in the future.
